IN THE TRADITION OF ?MUSICIANS-BEFORE BEING SOUND ENGINEER? SUCH AS M83 OR AIR, THE PENELOPES ARE STANDING OUT, WITH A MORE DANCING STYLE, LIKE THE RELEVANCE OF A DEMANDING FRENCH ELECTRONIC SCENE. WITH ITS QUEST OF THE CATCHY GIMMICK AND BRIGHT MELODIES, WORKED UNTIL ?SOUNDING SIMPLE? AND WITH ITS WILL TO NOT SACRIFICE THE SONGWRITING TO THE SIMPLE RHYTHMIC POWER OF THE DANCE MUSIC, THIS DANCE-ROCK BAND, ALSO HEARD ON GIGOLO RECORDS, BRINGS AN UNDENIABLE TOUCH OF FRESHNESS AND SUBTLETY TO THE ELECTRO SCENE: A FLAT-REFUSAL OF THE MEANINGLESS AND LAZY ELECTRONIC LOOPS.
A SINCERE & ELEGANT MUSIC, DONE WITH CLASSICAL INSTRUMENT & CURRENT ELECTRONIC MEANS. ?SKYGAZING? IS SOME KIND OF A REVERENCE TO ?RIDE & MOGWAI?, AN INCREDIBLE MIX OF E.BEATS WITH A SONIC & HARMONIC GUITAR MELODY; ?CIRCLE OF SEASONS? IS MORE ON THE POP-FOLK SIDE BUT WITHSOME KIND OF A STROBOSCOPIC VIOLENCE; ?TEENAGE DUST? GOES STRAIGHT INTO METAL DISCO...INCLUDING DISTORTION (TRAX MAGAZINE); ?TOGETHER SONG? SELECTED BY DJ HELL FOR THE CD7 COMPILATION OF HIS LABEL IS COMPLETELY REDONE; ?YOUR PLAN FOR HAPPINESS? IS A PERFECT SOUNDTRACK FOR CRUISING LISTEN & LET US KNOW....
IN HERITING THE LABELS MUTE AND 4AD (ACCORDING TO THE FIRST FEEDBACKS), WITH UNCOMMON REFERENCES FOR THE ELECTRONIC SCENE (FRANCK BLACK, NICK CAVE, PREFAB SPROUT, COCTEAU TWINS, ETC...), THE BAND WILL PRESENT HIS FIRST ALBUM OF SONGS COMPOSED IN ORDER TO MAKE THE GIRLS CRY IN NOVEMBER 2006.
A DENSE MUSIC, AMBITIOUS & EASY TO GET IN, IT?S A REAL DANCE ROCK ALBUM, EPIC & ALWAYS GETTING INTO THE SONGWRITING. THEY ARE THE PENELOPES, IT?S ON CITIZEN RECORDS, VITALIC HOME LABEL & IT?S 909 POP BABY !
